You were hoping I meant the Super Bowl XL refs right? Sorry, the refs in question were the crew that called an unnecessary technical foul on on a Florida State player during the Florida State-Duke game on Saturday.
After a hard foul, Sheldon Williams got into the face of Alexander Johnson. Johnson backed away immediately and the crew gave both Johnson and Williams technicals. Today, the ACC suspended Mike Eades, Ray Natili, and Ed Corbett for one game.
Imagine that. Refs who blew a call were actually disciplined by the league. I’m not sure where else this would be a good idea. What sport could possibly benefit from better refs? Mr. Tagliabue?
